Giving my old back a little rest before I jump into crouching tiger mode again - splitting the case.
Circling back to my battery drain issues for a quick minute.
I didn't meter the battery like I probably should have before the last ride but the headlight looked strong for about 20 minutes worth the pavement time and then the mishap... I was parked in a dark area so for the tow driver to see me I kept the lights on for a short while and watched the lights dim gradually - I imagine that's normal considering the size of the battery (?) but just in case my wiring is still a mess, calj737, can you see something here that can be corrected (other than the cramming)?:
Normally, I would have the reg/rect mounted under my electronics tray but I've brought it up to show you. So, just as the instructions say, I connected the new harness directly into the old rect harness, new Grn connects to reg Wht, and new Bwn I ran up to the ignition Blk, as you suggested.
A while back I cleaned up my old solenoid and put wires back that could be mistaken, perhaps. Can you take a look:
I have the thin YELLOW/RED and GRN/RED connected to their corresponding connectors. I imagine there's no specific post that's either left/right or #1 or #2 but on one of the posts I have a thick (4 AWG, I think) red line going to the battery combined with another red (about 8 AWG) that's part of the old wiring bundle. On the other post is only a thick (maybe 8 AWG) black line that connects to the starter. So far so good? Something amiss?
